2018 Olympic champion hockey player Kirill Kaprizov can easily prove himself in figure skating, while the three-time world champion and Stanley Cup winner Alexander Ovechkin is unlikely to try the sport, the president of the sports and educational center Sambo-70 told Renat Laishev .
On Saturday, 2022 Olympics silver medalist figure skater Alexandra Trusova told she would like to try her hand at hockey. Trusova also believes that she will jump higher than Ovechkin, and the hockey player will run faster.
– In general, all our hockey players are virtuosos. The same Helmut Balderis, for example, left figure skating for hockey. Who could go from hockey players to figure skating? Kirill Kaprizov can easily prove himself in figure skating. Alexander Ovechkin is a great athlete, but I don’t think he can try his hand at our sport. Here in football he showed himself famous, an episode with a pass to the left flank is worth something, when an opponent flew from him, like from a wall, – Laishev told .
In June, Ovechkin took part in a friendly match of Dynamo Moscow against the blogger team Amkal (5:0). The hockey player came out in the starting lineup and scored a goal.
